Onar Patmos — Hotel in Patmos Municipality

Absolutely lovely spot, with amazing views from all houses. Quiet too. We used the reliable and inexpensive bus - from Grigos. Walkable from our house 20 mins, but some might find it too much. We got a map of the island and a bus time table from the village. The taxi service was not metered to and from Skala/Chora - very variable! Very good tavernas and restaurants near by, you do not need a car for these. Our house was adequately furnished, if going with kids fine for the Greek dais level in the second room. The small beach (Plaki) beneath the houses was fair, there are others nicer, and a fair number of naturists. (Petra Beach and Grigos both OK). The pebbles were slimy so you need beach shoes too. Psili Amos beach has lovely waves and a decent taverna, you will need to walk to it. But well worth it. Beach 30/20 split between naturists encampment and those wearing costumes. It was the end of the season so the house showed its tired points. It is on the high side for accommodation so was expecting better toiletries too. Over all we enjoyed our stay, but would go earlier on in the year for the warmer water and air temperature as the north wind took the heat out of the pool and sea. The Monastery and Cave of the Evangelist are well worth a visit, only 3 euros a head. Amazing seeing the skulls and the fabrics and the manuscripts. You don't need a guide as all info in...

Onar is a wonderful boutique complex of very private apartments in one of the best spots in Patmos. The location is secluded but not hard to reach. The apartments are impeccably decorated and efficiently cleaned daily by Elena (nicest lady who also took care of our laundry). The pool is wonderful and nicely kept and the small beach across the street extremely convenient and lovely. While there were other guests in other houses during our stay, we almost always felt like we had the whole place for ourselves. The views of the Mediterranean, smells and sounds are a true feast for the senses. We traveled with our 3 year old and my elder parents and everybody was very comfortable and at ease. Wifi works great, the kitchens are well equipped and the overall feeling is that of staying at rustic yet elegant houses. Management was very responsive and extremely accommodating as we had to move our dates last minute and even offered us a credit to apply to extra days toward the end of our stay. I really cannot say enough good things of Onar, it is a special place on a special island and would love to go back one day if we are ever...

An excellent accommodation choice in a very tranquil part of Groikos, on the Petra side, right in front of a number of small, private beaches to the right of the property and the organized Petra beach to the left. Waters are as clean as one would expect in the Aegean sea and clear and transparent.||||The property comprises of a small number (5-6) of very comfortable apartments that have everything you need to make your stay memorable in a nice way. Most can sleep 4 people in 2 bedrooms, one can sleep a couple. They are all good. You should plan on getting provisions for your breakfast - there is a small kitchenette in every apartment. You should also plan on your coffee if you are particular about it like me. Otherwise there's a machine in the rooms and a coffee bar by the pool. Yes, there is a large sea water pool although with the beautiful beaches only steps away, I did not use it. I would recommend an upgrade on the a/c room installation to the newest generation equipment but that would be my only improvement suggestion. Overall an excelllent place for those who seek peace quiet and...
